not much. i've tested (on Windows) BEA JRockit 1.5, Sun 1.6, OpenJDK 1.7 --  
all they are terribly slow comparing to Sun 1.4 and Sun 1.5.

 ME> Intel OS X 10.4.9 has a righteous JVM for the Bear:

what "righteous" means? you mean it runs same spead or better as Sun 1.5?

i think we can find what exactly is slow and file a bug report (or 
improvement request), so maybe it would be fixed with release 7 or 8 (or 
maybe even in update of 6).. but unfortunately i don't have enough time to 
try to analyze these problems.. :(
well, there is a possibility that it's because of glitch in ABCL, and it's 
possible to make a workaround..
heh, and ironically ads for release 6 told that it supports dynamic 
languages much better..
